Multiple Assassin's Creed remakes are planned, Ubisoft CEO confirms
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has shared that the publisher is currently planning to remake several past Assassin’s Creed titles in the future.
The details:
In an interview for the publisher's website, Guillemot was asked what fans can expect from the franchise in the future, and he confirmed that new titles, as well as some unspecified remakes, are on the way. “Firstly, players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we’ve created in the past and modernize them,” Guillemot said. “There are worlds in some of our older Assassin’s Creed games that are still extremely rich.”
Last year, it was reported by Kotaku that a remake of 2013’s Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag was in its earliest stages, with an announcement not expected for another few years. Skull and Bones developer Ubisoft Singapore was also said to be “heavily involved” in the project.
Guillemot also stated that Ubisoft intends to add more "variety" to future series entries so that games can be released more frequently but will not be the same experience each year. "There are a lot of good things to come, including Assassin's Creed Hexe, which we've announced, which is going to be a very different game from Assassin's Creed Shadows,” he said. “We're going to surprise people, I think."
